Administrators are given access for one year per the Restricted access policy. Regular votes are held to confirm each user's status. Other languages indicate the areas in which the administrators might be able to converse with outside project members, or help provide public domain translations.

Restricted access depends on the continued support of the community. This may be tested by a vote of confidence, in which a simple majority (50%+1) must support the user's continued access for it to be retained. (What access a discussion concerns should be explicitly noted in the discussion's introduction.) Any user may propose a vote of confidence, but at least three established users must support the need for one before it can be called. Such a proposal is made automatically one year after the last scheduled or called proposal (concerning all restricted access).

In the case of an unscheduled (called) proposal, the user may not use the restricted access for any non-trivial action at any time until the vote is closed. A bureaucrat will eventually archive the discussion and, if so decided, request removal of restricted access by a steward.

I'm really not active enough on this project these days to be an administrator, so I'm going to request my rights be removed. I will hopefully become active here again one day, but unfortunately it probably won't be soon. GorillaWarfare(talk) 15:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Absent the above statement, I would support retention due to this admin's excellent record of service and the utter lack of any concerns about misuse of the tools; however, I respect their request for removal of rights. BD2412T 21:01, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
